Taking pictures of one kid is tough, and two is really bad,
but the other night persistence paid off.



but here are the outtakes:



And then we went for three:





and finally some success:


Thanks to Linda, Windy, Jonas and Addison for a nice evening, and all the pictures, including the two good ones.

Charlie has done this thing, where he sort of sucks on his tongue. It is hard to describe, but it looks pretty funny. there are two videos here is part 1:

Part 2

Another milestone of late,

Charlie is pulling himself up

on pretty much anything.

Getting ready for bed...

Charlie has a favorite shirt.
It is not this one, but I am working on him.




Notice in the close up it is a very masculine pattern.
I mean the look says it all:
"None of this metrosexual foolishness for this kid!"

Paige has been keeping the blog for while now,
but I am back now that the end of
semester rush is out of the way.
Anyway Charlie has been growing hair
at an alarming rate,
and its coming in darker
than either mine or Paige's ever was.




Its a little freaky isn't it.




Just kidding.

Note: Correction has been made below (thanks to EB, MC).

Apparently I need to brush up on my Happy Days terminology :)

Just call him "the Fonz"...

Faces

Standing up in his crib!

These two are so cute together.

Posing Nude

Charlie has enjoyed several visitors lately...

Cara

Tim

Lily and Finn

and Baby Elias

Ready for his trip to the outlet mall!



So much shopping makes a little boy TIRED!

Charlie helped his Dad with a project.

Not sure if this is the correct use for a level...

Or a wrench...

He REALLY wanted to help.

The guys enjoy the finished product!

Charlie, explaining something of obvious importance to Miller.

Charlie has had a very busy March. He gained 2 teeth, started crawling, visited with grandparents and an uncle, and last but not least, was baptized. Here are a couple from his baptism celebration. More to follow...

Baptism at GraceDC

With Dad and Mom after the service (don't you LOVE the shoes?)

Having fun with grandparents
Lots of fun...

Charlie definitely recognizes the bottle now.
Check it out:

Charlie loves his Dad!

He loves the stuffed gorilla...Nat named him Eddie...

and loves watching Baby Einstein (we try not to overdo this)...

Charlie took the new seat on a "test drive" in the dining room.

His feet are far more interesting to him than his new ride!

This is one of our favorite pictures of Charlie - it was taken by Hannah a few weeks ago.

Sorry it has been so long without blogging...we have had problems with our blog. Here is a picture of Charlie from a few weeks ago when we went out to breakfast with him. He likes sitting up in the high chair and looking around.
